Over the past year, Paras Health Srinagar, which was founded with the goal of provide high-quality and reasonably priced healthcare, has made steady progress. The hospital has brought vital healthcare services closer to home by tackling the area’s long-standing issues, where locals frequently had to travel for specialist treatments. In order to ensure that high-quality care is accessible, Paras Health has managed procedures including cardiac interventions, neurology, radiology interventional procedures, and oncological therapies locally while continuing to grow its capabilities.
Paras Health is always working to improve the region’s healthcare delivery by leveraging technology. The hospital has simplified patient care and increased accessibility and efficiency through the use of tools like the Paras App and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Its objective of providing smooth and reasonably priced healthcare experiences is largely dependent on these advances. Beyond hospital boundaries, Paras Health has begun community outreach, reaching approximately 8,000 to 9,000 people through nearly 170 health camps in districts including Bandipora, Kupwara, Anantnag, and Kargil. In order to improve emergency response outcomes, these programs involve more than 40–50 health awareness presentations that are held in schools, government offices, corporations, and colleges. The talks emphasize the importance of golden hour awareness and preventive healthcare.
